The amount of installed cabling and connections and rack space saved is bonkers though.

I've built auditoriums in the old way and there's so much to go in.

We've just started upgrading some hotels from old school early 2000's gear and it looks so out of date now. Acres of patch bays and thousands of solder joints.

Yeah. Although we still have something like 40 analogue tie lines from the stage, which all end up in a couple of Rio’s in the control room. And the amount of Cat5 patch is ridiculous

So down here in Melbourne we had another special soundsystem day last Sat . 4 sound systems in Federation Sq, right in the heart of the city for the Afro-Caribbean Carnival. Also guest DJs from Saxon Sound . The weather gods smiled on us and it was a lovely day with some great toons, people & vibes.

You can't tell me they don't "test" the system with a banger or two
